			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just take the time to think about the naming of the day. Take the time to understand why they named it good in a special way. Good plays a role in every single day. Even from the beginning, even to the end, they want and have always wanted for you to win. The winning spirit of being good follows us each and every day. The idea starts when we start our day. Good morning to you is the echo of today and people you meet on the street know to say and give you good morning as they greet you and hope that something good happens to you right then that there is a feeling that stimulates you from within that will create good in everything that you do and in everyone that you come pass you will remember to say to the same to them that you have had and heard said to you, “Good morning” as you move through the morning, sun feeling it in your face in greeting someone. Oh where hast thou gone oh dear good? Even when you are feeling bad, the morning will start with a good morning to you there are those who hope you get past the bad day. They hope you hear more good than bad as you move along your way.</p>
<p>Yes, good morning and then it is time to eat. You will have lunch and there will be another greet as you move throughout the day. The challenges that will come and you’ll face and overcome as they move your way. Someone will see you and then they will say “Good afternoon.” Then it will seem as though it has become a great song that someone has begun to croon. They will say “Good afternoon.” The struggles and torments and even a little procrastination making you feel like you won’t reach your destination of moving through the day without haste or time or someone not being kind, but you will see someone halfway through and they will say “Good morning” or “Good afternoon” to you for it is a trial each and every day to make it through for someone knew that we had to have something to say so halfway through they said, “Good afternoon,” hoping that you would understand that good is coming your way that they were actually reaffirming that you are going to have a good day. Halfway through you wouldn’t even have to worry not at all for someone would stand up and say “Good afternoon,” after all you deserve to have a great and good day. So there are good things that even if you don’t know are coming your way.</p>
<p>So in the culmination of your day you see and you have begun to worry about what is going to happen or to be and before you can take your troubles to your sleep, there is someone who will be happy to say what you really should meet in your dreams and prayers and everything before the end of the day someone will say “Good night” and hope that you dream and have pleasantries and be sent on your way. Yes, it started with a kiss and even maybe a story you see. The story so that you could see the Glory that was coming for you to be the people and the overcoming of all things that will come your way. The stories that will tell you how to be a good person and make it though any kind of adversity each day. Oh they were rhymes and stories and beautiful prayers as you were sent on your way to dream of infinite and great possibilities and the goodness that you were going to bring the next day.</p>
<p>And so with a kiss on the forehead and a little tug on a sheet or a blanket you see. Your dreams were met with love and a good night as a good treat. So know that the goodness always ring in our ear. Know that good things are always coming so have no fear. So goodness plastered throughout our mind for all of our life you see, for someone has something good to say about you so understand that is how it is going to be so understand that before and after you there was always good each day. And you can remember to share “Good morning,” “ Good afternoon,” “Good night” in a more special way. Share good and be good to those so that they too can see the good in you. Peace.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>They called his name Luke. When they heard the name Luke, everybody on the street knew that he was back. He said he was coming back. On the street corner, the word echoed when he got off the bus. You see Luke had caused such a hemorrhage, a real, some thought, tragedy to express the pain that he understood but he said inside and he ever did hide that he probably would always be misunderstood. The rain poured down and Houston didn’t look the same, but the flooding was about to start you see. Everyone on the block had heard that and they didn’t want it to be true that Luke Green was out of prison and he hadn’t served life you see. Through DNA, he had been released. The community began to feel the tragedy. Ms. Dixon on the corner who sat on the porch just off the third ward you see. She talked out loud and she said things like “I told you that Luke was coming back to me.” Who would know that a drug dealer like Luke would know anything about Ms. Dixon today? But it was Luke who wasn’t a drug dealer and he had a lot to say. She said, “I told you he’d be back and he told you to ‘beware’ for those of you who did him wrong. I’ll play that cut about ‘Goin’ up Yonder,’ y’all can call that your new theme song.” Everyone thought that she was crazy talking about a man named Luke, they didn’t understand her relationship to him you see. She thought he was her lover. She called him her man to be. She laughed inside because they didn’t understand what she was trying to hide in codes as she did play that way. For up on the satellites and then if you did turn right, the black vans and wagons were recording as Luke was coming back to stay. Poised to know and poised to show that he would be on the block soon you see. Everyone knew that there was a tragedy waiting for Luke was coming back for you or me.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Luke walked and waved as though he was in a parade as he came back to the block that day. It was not bright. It was barely light. It was a low lit day. He crept on the street as he was about to repeat his transgressions of the past you see. But not for Luke, this wouldn’t be a fluke but there was a payment to be made and to create a tragedy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Poem</p>
<p>I felt you when you were invisible and you touched me here today.</p>
<p>I saw your face in my mind and I elected for you to stay.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I walked and talked with you and no one could hear what I was saying you see.</p>
<p>For I moved my mind and moved my mind’s mouth and you even talk back to me.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I played those things that you said to me inside and the things that you encouraged me to do.</p>
<p>I could hear you talking to me while I walked without you.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Oh yes, then I felt your hug as you said goodbye to me.</p>
<p>I remember how we said we would see each other later and knew exactly what you meant to me.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I am here holding you just closer to me now.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For you can’t be here at this moment you see.</p>
<p>But inside my head I hold a picture of just how I held you and what it felt like to me. I remember those words that you said to me.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I hear them in my head right now.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I remember the conversation that impressed me about you.</p>
<p>I wondered inside oh wow.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I played that tape just to remember the very moment that you meant so much to me.</p>
<p>To remind me how beautiful you are and the things that you choose to share with me.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I remember the day that I was feeling lonely and you called just to say hello.</p>
<p>I wonder how you had come to think of me as I was thinking of you and then you make me glow.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Oh I remember how my eyes feel when I think of what you do to make me laugh.</p>
<p>How I could barely hold anything inside.</p>
<p>There is business conducted but it didn’t mean anything to you.</p>
<p>It made me want to laugh out loud but I kept my head and I decided to record it deep inside of me so I could always remember what you said.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The smile comes out when I do this you see for it meant so much to me then and now too. Because when you say beautiful things and I think of you I wonder what you do.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And then I think of the times that you chose to unwind and share what was in your head. And you repeat back to me the things that I think and the words and the conversation that I have in my head.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So even when I am not talking to you and I know that I am hearing your voice and I am glad that you are sharing with me. And that you hear my voice as your choice.</p>
<p>The choice that’s inside and both of use ride this life cycle as it does go on.</p>
<p>But it is wonderful to know that even when I am walking in tow that you are always coming along.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So take this moment and know as I have said inside hello and how do you do? And know that I remember the very tone and the first time that I said to you I love you.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So I am pinning this note just so that you can hear the throat inside my head as I have said each day that I am glad that I no longer walk the earth alone and I know that you make each and everyone of my days.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Poem</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The phone rings and you say hello and express how much you do care, then they say what are you doing and then they say thinking of you about and thinking of everywhere. Who would have ever thought that in the moment of disrepair people would reject the idea that you really did call because you care. Expressions of concern and expressions of contempt, the annihilation of love and the beginning of discontent.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As we ring the phone or shoot an email to a friend or a lover each day. The concept of why we did it comes and often gets in the way. We are not sure or certain anymore that the obvious is obvious or real. It impedes our ability to see truth or just accept what is real. Real for that moment, real for that matter, not concretely laid for some foundation of tomorrow you see, but instead, just a moment to refresh and say hey I am thinking of you and me.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Rivaling expectations and not falling prey to expectations, we really need to understand the meaning of the notion of just thinking at that moment for someone’s heart is in our hand. Yes it is important that we do not deceive in our cause. But just those things that are small I think of you shouldn’t seem so tall. Don’t exaggerate the intentions of others, don’t engage yourself when they actually express concern or care. Take the moment to receive love and understand that it comes from everywhere.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A smile to those who are around you. A hug to those who might need one too is just an example of how you can express care without playing and becoming, married, engaged, and estranged by expressing methodologies of care and concern. Sure there are parameters by which we will not smile and hug strangers but those who we do care about, let them understand what and how you do express your concern so they will know what your love is all about. No it shouldn’t be a word of discontent; no it shouldn’t be in anger or embarrassment. But it should express how you express your love and concern for others so that they can prepare themselves to receive the dynamics of your personality, to understand the methodology of your expression of friendship, acquaintance and association. When you do delineate your parameters and expressions of concern, you will also allow others to shed their disbelief of you really thinking about them. Be true to your expressions of concern; lay true your claims of when you express how you feel. Remember those expressions for others might hold on or make them deeper for how they truly are. When this happens, be engaging in a manner where you talk about feelings and openly express to those things that could add contempt, disrespect, or jealousy in the future. Lay claim and hold on to true expressions of care and concern. For others need to learn through books that are nice, articles that can engage and express how you feel in the words that are not just yours but as professionals learning to share the psychological perspectives of care and concern in a world where in nanoseconds, emails destroy and build worlds. So take the time to spread love and share positive-ness and yet create larger dialogue about emotions of care and concern for others so that their parameter and stealing their paradigm, their point of view, can be honest without it being sarcastic, cynical or feeling as though there is a air of contempt for even expressing love and concern for others. In a chilling world, where personalities and celebrities seem to be doted upon and the common and familiar person seems to receive less and less love, less based on their VIP status, instead of more just on being a human being that has a need of just one more smile, one more word to support the hope that they have for the life that is inside their head and the true beauty that comes from you being kind. Share love and perspective and concern today for we need it and it will help the world to heal and to create a better tomorrow today. Peace.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Don’t Stop Yourself</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To hear the sound of the rock as it drops on the ground. To feel the vibration from all around. To know the moon that reflects on the ocean sea. To know the darkness that can come between me and thee. To understand the movement of stillness that you can’t see. To see an imagination that will let you know who you can be. And the transmutation that happens within. The reclaiming of who you are again. To realize that the question inside has become the answer that is inside too. The vision of yourself and what you must do.</p>
<p>The glass is never half empty nor is it half full. It is full for those who understand that their cup runneth over everyday that they choose. The only time it’s half full is when you choose to half loose. When you see that there is just half a good day. When you see things that they are just halfway going your way. When you are just half of what you should be. When you are half of and believe in only half of what I am to myself and me.</p>
<p>There are dark days that seem to be in your face. But if you are the sunshine, you can easily erase. When there seems to be nobody there’s always somebody if you choose. Value inside you is that you must never lose. The ownership of being someone to more than you know. They are always looking to you so that you can bestow a smile or encouragement just so that they can be full. Your being full helps to pull others so that they can be full too. They look to you and aspire what to do.</p>
<p>There are stations that we should be able to hear. Positive, motivating and strategic to your ear. You cannot hear the negativity that many may see. There is no such thing a bad day. No it’s a day that had challenges that seems to be on you. But before you’re finished, it’s a new day and then there is a new you. So don’t let the darkness that you might see on a bright day think that it’s coming your way. Know that there are dark days that are always around. Particularly if your face has a scowl or a frown. So don’t put them on your face for even inside you should always be able to erase something that tells you that you are you no good, something that you have been misunderstood. Know that you are not a loser but a winner today. It’s in your attitude so give yourself an A. Know that you’re brave and have courage too. The ABC’s – attitudes, bravery and courage&#8211; will do. Know that you are never dumb but you are disciplined inside. Know that it’s not easy like an E but you are always friendly and you can be the prize. Know that there is a G for goodness that represents what you are. Know that there is a heaven that you can reach up inside and make it in this world for star. Know that the I says there is an intelligent side to you. You can think of anything and then know what to do. Know that the there is a J for there is a job to be done. When you have to do something special so remember there is a purpose son. Know that there’s an L, you are going to have the legend and the longevity to make it through. Know that there is a K for knowledge and then that will give you the strength to make it through. Know that there are more letters than you know what to do. Double them up and add them again to you. And then you can start all over again for there is a letter that means something positive that you can grow within. Keep one in your pocket and write it down. See positivity at everything around. Make and change in someone’s day and make them feel good. Know that if there’s an argument then someone is just misunderstood. Be kind to yourself and others and there will always be a win for you. And remember someone always loves you even if you haven’t heard it so you’ll make it through. So even in the darkness, it is really a little bit light. And when you believe its really always very bright. Peace.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>They’re Counting on You Not Voting</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Will we train when the time comes? Will we take the heavy lifting? Will we learn to organize? Will we learn to canvas? Will we take the time when the time comes to cast our lot for what can be the future, to be arranged in the systematic, electoral system?</p>
<p>What it will come to mean if you are actually on the scene, having passed out bumper stickers, having knocked on doors, having understand what it is to fundraise, having met new faces that are dreaming of new urban solutions and social steps to political stations. To meet and understand what might bite papers mean. To see those who forged the difference to be in between, but who have taken a stance and joined a team.</p>
<p>Sitting down in the Obama scene, sitting down and hearing the Clintons sing. Sitting down and seeing McCain beat the cane. Sitting down and seeing the political landscape rearranged. The testimonial will be those who begin to fight. Those who will stand up and see and attempt to do what’s right. Not to just stand up on the side, but those who take their children out so that they can learn to walk in stride for something that will be bigger than them. For something that they will say what they’ve done. For something they can look back on and add to the sum of the character that they have just begun.</p>
<p>Standing tall among those who are actually small. Taking a time to vote and not be a flower on the wall. Taking the very stance on knowing what you must do. Taking a position and getting involved too. Yes the involvement of knocking on the door. Yes the involvement of taking those to register so they can soar. Yes taking the time to educate so you can mitigate the situation that’s causing the frustration the leads to the annihilation of dreams, the destruction of teams. The destruction of what it means to be alive and understand that if you don’t take a vote and begin to create results that they don’t anticipate that you have a stake but you can’t exasperate yourself from the gasping sounds of not being around by complaining no you must get involved today, you must not stay away. There will not be another way for this day is yours and its important to know that there are brothers and sisters that are in tow that are working to make a difference too and other people from generations wanting to change too.</p>
<p>To see the landscape that will be both black and white. To see the landscape of generations that want to make it right. To see the landscape that will have issues of healthcare, economics, and war too. Yes that agenda will be set, but it will not be set by you? Will you take the time to analyze your mind but not sit up and be in your head when you need to vote instead of acting dead?</p>
<p>So here it is in a station you were looking for a role model to have and a reason for registration. Oh, of course, here he is, man alive, its Barack Obama and he has the prize. He hails from two places that we both know. A black man and then a white soul to go. Or maybe it is just a remake of the Clinton administration that you want to know, maybe you think Hillary Clinton is the way to go. Don’t worry about who it is that you choose to be with this time. Take the time remind your mind that you must be involved and that counts the most you see. It’s what you do to make a difference for those who are choosing to stand on the sides and see. No you take action for success is borne in action today. Don’t wait for your mind, it can leave you in yesterday, talking about what was, but now its time to make it what is. Make it come alive so that you can win the prize, so that you can make the day, so that you can change the system to look at least and address your way. But if you know no one, met nobody on the way you will wake up and have the same as yesterday.</p>
<p>So here it is what you plan to do. If you are tired of war then you have to vote too. If you are tired of unemployment then take a stand. Get involved, recruit and handle the phone banks and know what to do. Go door to door and learn neighborhoods you’ve never seen. Volunteer, go across the world; know what it means to be an organizer of peace, of change. Know that only if you do something different will you will be able to arrange what was yesterday will still lie there for you if you don’t get off your yesterday and make today a place for you.</p>
<p>So the countdown has begun those who want to participate are going to be a part of the sum, those who sit on the bench and wait will be too late when they realize that they’ve missed the prize and so time has gone no one knows exactly what you can do. And all of the good friends that you have made in tow at what they can do, yes they will have already made a difference too. But you can do so much if you would choose and move your will. Stop sitting there complaining, move and distill the integrity of the person and the character inside of you. Remake your self. Vote. Register. Move somebody and take somebody with you. Peace.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We can’t give what we never heard some say. But we can give when it comes to love to make a life a better and a particular way. We can think of what our parents did or did not do. We can give good days to others so that they can know that there is something new. Our parents may have done the best that they can do. That will leave those things great that you and I can choose to do. We don’t have to do exactly what was done to you and I. We can record the mystery and make and understand why. We can share the value of change just a generation at a time. We can allow each other to know and love and embrace and show the value of being kind. Time serves as a puzzle-solver if we just understand each day. To do our part and make a new start and being inventive and choose to go a different way. There are those who started their lives and had no idea what to do. But now that they know it seems like it will come closer to being just you. Closer to not replicate the horrors that we see each day. Closer to breaking cycles that speak to us in a vicious way. From teen pregnancy to father abandonment, to just low self-esteem period each day has come along. It’s created a very difficult place for us to be horrible love song.</p>
<p>For we took the time and began to identify those things that we thought we had done in love. Attitudes and arguments that we said are how we approach our day. But there is a new and a different way. Conversation that leads to understanding, piercing words that can encourage instead of hurt are valued more. We should begin to open ourselves up and be transparent, be an invisible door. Not putting up shades that would keep others out as they wanted to shine in our lives each day. Being not afraid to change who we are so that we can move in a special way.</p>
<p>Here we find our lights that have come on inside our heads that tell us things that can and cannot be true. So we need to understand how our heads are fed. Where do we get the value system that we have used till this day? What do our friends encourage us to do and what are we going to do special today?  How will we not be children of yesterday living as adults as we analyze and think about what we’ll do? Whose lives will we touch and change because we want to be a better me and you</p>
<p>Here we are thinking of the cycle of love that has come our way. Make sure you make the best of it don’t do or hurt yourself in any way. Most of all don’t hurt others either for they are depending on your love and understanding to be true. Break the cycle, change who you are, be the best of you. Let others be able to understand that they can count on you too. For when you do your best it shows the world the possibilities for all of us to do. Peace</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Plant Forth</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Sail forth the wind of love as it pushes its way into our life each day. The romantic fever that spreads during spring is coming your way. Pray tell say the flowers as they begin to bloom; the bees and the pollen begin to swoon. The sneezes are love glances as they are going in the head. The flowers grow beautiful ands they begin to dazzle our head. And the verses and the beautiful sense that begin to flow. It is the establishment of love as it begins to grow. New babies are all forming for they are now coming forth in flow. And the season of new beginning starts again.</p>
<p>From barren places in our heart, there must be a start. For love is like the flower that is blooming, it comes through the bark. And then there is the beginning of what will be a lovely relationship you see. The blossoming of love and the idea of it will come to be. For mysteries of love will last through the season each day. But memories of the committed are what really must stay.</p>
<p>There are those who will take relationships as light as a butterfly. To flutter here and there and not realize that the sanction of being able to fly and flutter in the air is often a short lived idea of what it is if love is just fashioning there. To hold something long is like to grow love in a tree. Or 100 years from now there is a still a birds nest to be. No its love that is happening for spring is in the air. We must recommit to love and understand her beauty as she does stare. She looks us in our face as the spring does come to and fro&#8211; the lilies, the daffodils, the roses as they grow. They are the gardens that we will give away; they are the ones that will come and say, “I love you.” For here is beauty, the Garden of Eden all for you. Utopia&#8211;just listen to me, “I am the love that you choose to do.”</p>
<p>But in love there is always a funny kind of scent, it strives to be the difference between rose and even a mint. It is the smell of a permanence that we’d like to keep in the air. The beauty that his there when love is in despair. But love like any garden must be toiled everyday. Love like any garden must be cultivated in a special way. For there are those weeds that will come and get in the way. There is jealousy, mystery dysfunction that can come into play.</p>
<p>Fashion a garden inside your head and your heart. Plant those things that you want to finish not just start. For many cannot take you coming with some crazy variety, planting it in their heart and mind and then not wanting to toil or to prune the tree. To bear fruit in the world in a place of love its like honey dew or peaches in a tee. Everybody wants the beautiful fruit but who can take the mystery? For the fruit that loves bears beyond children last only for a while. Then you must re-fertilize, till the green, and wait for another while. Love is always in bloom but you cannot always see it you see. You need to ask for somebody who will love you and let them choose to be. In your life each day for love does not go away; it is waiting for you to come plant it and get started creating a garden today. Each time that we find the person in our life not just in love; love grows for everybody in our lives and it surely needs love touched with no gloves. So you have the time to plant the seeds of garden each day. Seeds of love that will grow and grow in a special way. You are the garden in the minds of others who want to be in love. Just remember when you plant those seeds their futures are part of what you would say. They want love to come and be in a special way.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Tide Emotions</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The ocean is so big and small it rather seems like a raindrop that has tried to stall. And the lands and the oceans and the continents you see, the ocean represents the end of the country for many, for both you and me. From New York’s harbor to San Francisco you see, it’s the edge of the world, it’s where the water meets me. How we see the ocean so big and small. How we understand how our world is really small. How we begin to see the problems of the day. But if we each jumped in the ocean, we would just sail away. We would be forgotten like we were not here before. There would really be no more for the ocean is bigger than we are each day and so are the issues that we really need to pay close attention to as we act like they are insurmountable you see. This is where we understand that we are our emotional sea.</p>
<p>Each of us sails through life each and every day. And we are on the emotional see and we choose to stay. How we create a whole in a body for our ship that we might be that we can actually enjoy navigating the emotional sea. The anger and the jealousy and the mystery each day all these things come out and emotionally begin to sway. The rage of anger sounds like thunder to many each day. It sounds as though it would penetrate you if you let it in a particular way. But anger holds the danger of madness inside. The feeling of fear that resonates when others are out of stride with what life really has and the truth that they might have come to know. The anger is there but you must understand when to go. Don’t wait for anger to sink your ship each day. Don’t wait for an angry person to curse you or treat you in a bad way and then make it seem like it’s your fault right then. Don’t let the anger be the way they turn around and say call me friend. No not anger, it’s not the emotion that you must ride on. For it will not fill your sail. If anything it will send you into a total spin sail but you are the captain of your ship each day but as you ride the emotional sea stay out of angers way.</p>
<p>There are others like tidal waves that you can’t swim in you see. Don’t leave your ship and fall and find a tidal wave or shallow water; it will wreck your boat instantly. But so will jealousy when you see what others have. There are many treasures in the world so there is enough for all of us to have. Yes, there are places that you will go and things and tales that you will be able to say. But make sure jealously is not one of the things that you convey each and every day. Know that others will have both, both big and small, others will have crews that will be larger and some of them more tall. Others will even compare you and want to make you envious each day. But these are things on the emotional sea that you’ll try to just stay away. Don’t participate in conversations that make you feel like you are jealous of a friend. Don’t you ride and enjoy the waves and then say something that will make others wonder what you have from within. No that’s not the way to start your day nor is it a way to enjoy the ride. You must be positive and enjoy your ride. Hope for others to grow big and strong and tall. Hope that others will accomplish many things; don’t wish for them to fall. No, wish that they would stay happy on the emotional sea. Don’t be envious and don’t fall victim to jealousy. For it can sink your boat when others will begin to share your tale and it will put a hole in your hull and that will dampen your ability to sail. So as you ride on the emotional sea, find peace as you will go. Ride the waves of peace; go to and fro. And then when the water seems rough and you are not sure what to do, find the emotions of faith and they will steer you through. They’ll help you navigate the negativity that comes from bitter ocean waters each day. They’ll tell you how you can really make it and show you the way. The nights and the lights up in the starts up in the dreams that you will see. Make sure that you  will navigate and believe in infinite possibilities. Now there are lots of emotions and happiness is one. There are things like love and they are there for some and they must understand the sum. For that emotion is one that will lead to a wild ride. That one that will leave you destined in shallow waters if you don’t watch the tide. But whatever it is, continue to believe in it for you can give it away too. Float your boat and understand what love will actually do. Just be true and honest when love does call, for the waves will cause your emotions to fly high; the waves will be tall. Yes you’ll have questions of what you should do. Whether you should be in warm water or cold water and what to do. And how long it will last but don’t let fear steer you away. Enjoy the ride of the emotional love as you steer the emotional sea each day. And then there is kindness that is always on the sea; it allows you to navigate so easily. When you are kind, it is infectious and others will want to ride with you as you move along your way. Let that be wonderful and understand the day. And then never feel alone as you are on the sea. There is always that instant lighthouse if you close your eyes you will see. It is a place where prayers go and dreams do too. There’s a heavenly navigator right there just for you. A lighthouse that is always on when you choose to turn it on you see. A place where you can ask for directions and where you really should be. So when you are riding on the emotional waters and there are thousands of emotions each day, make sure you keep your eyes on the lighthouse and it will show you the way. So all for you who will sail in life and wonder how to take to the sea keep your focus on the lighthouse and the big stars and you ill now where you should be. Peace.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Don’t Stop Yourself</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To hear the sound of the rock as it drops on the ground. To feel the vibration from all around. To know the moon that reflects on the ocean sea. To know the darkness that can come between me and thee. To understand the movement of stillness that you can’t see. To see an imagination that will let you know who you can be. And the transmutation that happens within. The reclaiming of who you are again. To realize that the question inside has become the answer that is inside too. The vision of yourself and what you must do.</p>
<p>The glass is never half empty nor is it half full. It is full for those who understand that their cup runneth over everyday that they choose. The only time it’s half full is when you choose to half loose. When you see that there is just half a good day. When you see things that they are just halfway going your way. When you are just half of what you should be. When you are half of and believe in only half of what I am to myself and me.</p>
<p>There are dark days that seem to be in your face. But if you are the sunshine, you can easily erase. When there seems to be nobody there’s always somebody if you choose. Value inside you is that you must never lose. The ownership of being someone to more than you know. They are always looking to you so that you can bestow a smile or encouragement just so that they can be full. Your being full helps to pull others so that they can be full too. They look to you and aspire what to do.</p>
<p>There are stations that we should be able to hear. Positive, motivating and strategic to your ear. You cannot hear the negativity that many may see. There is no such thing a bad day. No it’s a day that had challenges that seems to be on you. But before you’re finished, it’s a new day and then there is a new you. So don’t let the darkness that you might see on a bright day think that it’s coming your way. Know that there are dark days that are always around. Particularly if your face has a scowl or a frown. So don’t put them on your face for even inside you should always be able to erase something that tells you that you are you no good, something that you have been misunderstood. Know that you are not a loser but a winner today. It’s in your attitude so give yourself an A. Know that you’re brave and have courage too. The ABC’s – attitudes, bravery and courage&#8211; will do. Know that you are never dumb but you are disciplined inside. Know that it’s not easy like an E but you are always friendly and you can be the prize. Know that there is a G for goodness that represents what you are. Know that there is a heaven that you can reach up inside and make it in this world for star. Know that the I says there is an intelligent side to you. You can think of anything and then know what to do. Know that the there is a J for there is a job to be done. When you have to do something special so remember there is a purpose son. Know that there’s an L, you are going to have the legend and the longevity to make it through. Know that there is a K for knowledge and then that will give you the strength to make it through. Know that there are more letters than you know what to do. Double them up and add them again to you. And then you can start all over again for there is a letter that means something positive that you can grow within. Keep one in your pocket and write it down. See positivity at everything around. Make and change in someone’s day and make them feel good. Know that if there’s an argument then someone is just misunderstood. Be kind to yourself and others and there will always be a win for you. And remember someone always loves you even if you haven’t heard it so you’ll make it through. So even in the darkness, it is really a little bit light. And when you believe its really always very bright. Peace.</p>
